Late night open thread

If for no other reason than it's back up on YouTube savor this magnificent clip of Joe Strummer performing White Man In Hammersmith Palais at Shepherds Bush. One month later he'd be gone. Joe here at one with his audience really belting this one out.


If anything were to happen to Johnny it's the kind of video he'd like to go out on.

Or if a long overdue vacation finally arrived.

Yes Jersey City Desk fans it's time for Johnny to go hobnob with other wizards in the upper midwest for a while. Something good and right about crisp autumnal nights in the sticks. Sorry Jersey City, we're turning the interns loose on you but we gave them bus fare at least as far as Hoboken. Johnny will be back the weekend of the 24th. Heads up Pennsylvania, and stay the hell out of the left lane.

Time for Jersey City, After Dark
